which plexus contains nerves in the lower part of shoulder and entire arm? Brachial
The sensory cranial nerve contains only the? Offactory, optic and vistibulocochear
The cranial nerve that arises from the spinal cord is the? Accessory nerve
Nerve impulses over the Vegas nerve cause increase peristalsis and increase heart rate
The spinal nerve is connected to the spinal cord and consist of 31 pairs
Spinal nerves are motor and sensory fibers
Mixed nerves carry both sensory and motor fibers
Damage to the phrenic nerves can make the diagram unable to function
The phrenic nerve is found in the cervical plexus

The autonomic nervous system functions chiefly where? The innervation of smooth muscle of the visceral
Once inside the sympathetic chain ganglion the preganglionic fiber may? All of the above: 1) Synapse wth sympathetic postganglionic neuron 2) Send ascending or descending branches through the sympathetic trunk to synapse with postganglionic neurons in other chain ganglia 3) Pass through one or more chain ganglia without sy
Sympathetic responses generally have widespread effects on the body because? Preganglionic fibers synapse with several postsynaptic fibers
Where are the parasympathetic neuron cell bodies located? Nuclei of the brainstem and lateral grey columns of the sacral cord

All of the following are examples of the parasympathetic division except? Increased heart rate
Which of the following is a description of the principle of antagonism as it relates to the autonomic nervous system? Sympathetic impulses tend to stimulate an effector, Parasympathetic impulses tend to inhibit an effector
The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are tonically active which means they? continually conduct impulses to autonomic effectors
If you were to image some of the preganglionic fibers that enter the celiac ganglion what effect would this have on the sympathetic stimulation? Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla may not read the various sympathetic effectors thus delaying the effects of the sympathetic stimulation
